Capable of printing in two colors (red/black) with the special thermal
paper.
Battery pack: 6HR-AAU-CBM (7.2 VDC, 1650 mA/h)
Ni-MH (pack of 6 AA dry cells, connectable to charger circuit via
connector)
Charging time: Approx. 5.5 hours (to full charge)
Charging monitor: POWER lamp (Red) lit in charging, goes off when
fully charged.
Recharging cycles: Over 300 cycles (at room temperature)
Charger: Built in the CBM-272 Printer.
Charger power supply: Power adapter (27AD)
The printer can be powered while the batteries are charging (floating).
Discharge control: Low voltage alarm=5.9 V, discharge termination
voltage=5.6 V, monitored by signal output and POWER lamp (Green).
Approx. 30,000 lines and more (continuous sliding print of ANK,
standard print density, at room temperature)
To save battery consumption, the printer automatically enters the power
save mode if it receives no print data, or not operated, for approx. 10
minutes. If the same inactive state continues for another 10 minutes, the
auto power off feature automatically turns the printer off. (The timer
intervals can be set with a DIP switch.)
To turn the printer on again, temporarily set the POWER switch to OFF,
then set it back to ON. All data will initialize when the printer repowers.
The power save and auto power off features are left disabled when the
printer is powered from the AC adapter.
